Caring Consumer 101

Welcome, shoppers! Thank you for being a caring consumer! By purchasing only cruelty-free products, you can help save rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, rats, and other animals.

Hundreds of thousands of these animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in outdated and ineffective product tests for shampoos, household cleaners, cosmetics, hairsprays, and other personal care and household items. Although more than 600 companies have banned all animal tests forever, some corporations still force substances into animals' stomachs and drip chemicals into rabbits' eyes. These tests are not required by law, and they often produce inaccurate and misleading results—even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you. Search for cruelty-free products and companies.
Charities
Many of us find it difficult to say "no" when asked to donate to a charity that is seeking a cure for a disease. And how many of us take the time to find out how that donation would be used? Would our money really alleviate suffering, or would our donation dollars actually contribute to suffering? PETA is here to answer those questions. Read more.
